Watch Jon Pardi’s Smooth Cover of a 90s George Strait Classic

Lorie Liebig

During his stop by The Bobby Bones Show this week, Jon Pardi opted to honor one of his biggest influences with a musical tribute.

Most artists who come by the popular radio show like to perform a fun cover, and Pardi was ready for the occasion. With just his acoustic guitar, he put his own spin on George Strait’s “I Just Want To Dance With You.” Staying true to the original, Pardi keeps the smooth and silky vibe that made the cut such a fan favorite.

Pardi was just nominated in three categories for the 2017 CMA Awards. This year, he’s up for Best New Artist and Song and Single of the Year for “Dirt On My Boots.” You can see a full list of this year’s nominations here.

You can also catch him on tour this year with hisLucky Tonight headlining tour, which kicks off Oct. 12 in Birmingham, Ala.

George Strait’s “I Just Want to Dance With You” Lyrics:

I don’t want to be the kind to hesitate
Be too shy, wait too late
I don’t care what they say other lovers do
I just want to dance with you

I got a feeling that you have a heart like mine
So, let it show, let it shine
If we have a chance to make one heart of two
I just want to dance with you

I want to dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That’s what they intended dancing for
I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That’s what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you

I caught you looking at me when I looked at you
Yes, I did; ain’t that true?
You won’t get embarrassed by the things I do
I just want to dance with you

Oh, the boys are playing softly, and the girls are too
So am I, and so are you
If this were a movie, we’d be right on cue
I just want to dance with you

I want to dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That’s what they intended dancing for
I just want to dance with you
I want to dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That’s what they invented dancing for
I just want to dance with you

I want to dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That’s what they intended dancing for
I just want to dance with you

I want to dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That’s what they invented dancing for
